Picture point campground
This campground is located near Mount Buller in the Victorian High Country. To get here you will need a 4WD as it requires a lot of off-road driving! There’s a bunch of rivers early on in this journey that you can stop off and relax at before making the ascend up towards the campground. Head towards Bluff Hut and then continue onwards to the following coordinates (-37.1965474, 146.5814131). The whole trail up there is incredible with some great four wheel driving and crazy views all around. Once you make it to the campground you’ll likely have the place all to yourself given the journey it takes to get there, however you’ll soon discover how incredibly worthwhile it is. You can pitch up right on the cliff edge, with the views of the entire mountain range getting even better once the sun goes down and the sky turns golden. This has to easily be one of the best campgrounds in the whole of Victoria.
